rable of the Unjust
and the parable of the
19;!••.•1 fan and Lazarus. Probably
1e -more parables spoken by our Lord
are based upon incidents connect-
ed with the use of property and
money than are related to any
other single aspect of our daily life.
This is one of the many evi-
dences we have showing Christ's
interest in the daily occurrences
of human experience, and the im-
portance which He attached to
what men do with their material
posessions. Many mystics in 'dif-
ferent ages have attempted to per-
suade men to live apart from
earthly possessions, to give no at-
tention to them, to possess noth-
ing, seek for nothing, never en•
• gage in business, never to own
property, and to give their time
entirely to meditation and prayer,
preferably in some secluded cave
or desert oasis, Not so our Lord,
He taught men how to Iive in the
circumstances which surround all
of us, and that 1s wliy so much of
I•Lis teaching concerns what we
do with our bodies, our time, our
possessions, and our a'elationships
to those with whom we come in
contact.
The True Riches
Luke 16 : 10. "He that is faithful
in a very little 13 faithful also
in much: and he that is unright-
eous in very little Is unrighteous
also in much." The essential fi-
delity of the heart is the same
whether it be exercised in two
mites or in a regal treasury. 11. "If
therefore ye have not been faith -
dui in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the
true riches? 12. And if ye have
not been faithful in that which
is another's, who will give you
that which is your own?" True
riches of the spirit—the abundant
life—do not come to the person
whose soul is pegged down to
money-grubbing, Directly, verse 11
means if we are faithless in the
insignificant charge of putting our
money to the hest use, then we
are not deserving of the true rich-
es.
Only One Master
. 13. "No servant can serve two
masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else
he will hold to one and despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon." This statement is
also found in the Sermon on the
Mount. To sorv3 is to give one's
obedience and allegiance. If a man
lives for the acquisition of money,
his heart is in his money, his love
is there, so that at the same time
his heart cannot bo yielded to God,
he cannot be loving God with all
his being, and he cannot serve God
in any right way.
Misuse of Property
14, "And the Pharisees, who•
were lovers of money, heard alt
these things; and they scoffed at
him. 15. And he said unto them,
Ye are they that justify yourselves
in the sight of men; but God know•
eth your hearts: for that which
is exalted among men is an abom-
ination in the sight of God. Extern-
ally the Pharisees (like many
people in Canada today) pretend -
ad to be righteous, but internally
they were robbers, cruel, misers,
merciless on the poor, hard on
their creditors, doing anything to
acquire wealth. Jesus means here
that property? when made to exalt
men, when unlawfully acquired and
unrighteously used, when it results
in the building up of vast estates
and palatial homes only for selfish
purposes, is an abomination of
God.
Rich Man and Lazarus
19. "Now there was a certain
rich man, and he was clothed in
purple and fine linen, faring sump-
tuously every day. 20. And a cer-
tain beggar named Lazarus was
laid at his gate,- full of sores, 21.

Farm Notes,
Grow Soybeans
For Home Use
e e
Soy beans may be used either
as a hay crop by cutting the
plants when the pods are about
two-thirds filled, or the seed may
be allowed to, ripen and bo fed
as an addition to the grain ra-
tion. The u►timate use will de-
termine the method of planting.
If an annual hay about equal
to alfalfa in feeding value is de-
sired the seed should be drilled
in similar to oats at the rate of
about ninety pounds per • acre.
Seeding should be done about
May 15, When the plants have
reached the proper stage cutting
may be done after the dew is off
and the hay allowed to wilt be•
fore raking into windrows, Cont- •
pleting the curing in windrows
appears to be •the • most satisfac-
' toffy method,
Where a high protein supple-
ment to the grain ration of live-
stock is desired, soybeans will be
found to replace such feeds as
linseed and cottonseed oil meals.
Whole soybeans should not be fed
to bacon hogs, but soybean oil
meal may be safely used in this
case. Whole soybeans contain
about 35 per cent' protein and 16
per cent oil. This high oil con-
tent is objectionable in bacon
production. •
FOR FEED
Soybeans for feed should be
planted about May 15 in rows 28
to 30 inches apart at the rate of
30 to 40 pounds per acre, states
C. W. Owen Dominion Experi-
mental Station, Harrow. Cross
cultivation of the rows with a
spike harrow having the teeth
shaped backwards during the
early stages of growth will aid
in controlling weeds, Later row
cultivation may be done as re-
quired. When ripe the seed may
be harvested with a binder or
preferably a combine if available.
Whether the crop is grown for
nay or grain, the seed should be
inoculated with a culture of soy-
bean
oybean nitrogen fixing bacteria be-
fore planting, If this is done
the full benefits of the legum-
inous properties of the crop will
be realized,

Kilt's Origin
Not Scottish
Claim Is, Made That Gar-
ment Was Brought to Scot.
land in 200 B.C. From
Athens
The kilt is so much associated
with the Highland Scottish regi-
ments that there is a general be-
lief that it is purely of Scottish
origin. That is far from being
the case, however, and a Scottish
historian, inspired no doubt, by
the exploits of the crack Greek
regiments which wear a cere-
monial dress resembling a ballet
girl's skirt, has been looking into
the subject, writes the St. Thomas
Times -Journal, He makes the
remarkable statement that the
Scottish kilt is actually it de-
scendant of the Greek soldier's
skirt, having been brought to Scot-
Iand about 200 years B.C.• by
Gathelus, son of the King of
Athens,
IRISH LAY CLAIM
It appears that Gathelus, "al-
armed by the fame of Moses,"
fled the country, taking with him
Jacob's Stone which Jacob had
used as a pillow. He had married
Scotia, a daughter of the Phar-
aoh of that day. Mr. and Mrs.
Gathelus, or Prince and Princess
Gathelus _ as they .more probably
were, first went 'to • Spain and
then to Ireland, where, for sone
years, the Stone was used in the
coronation of Irish kings. Other
Greeks went to Ireland, and froni
there they went to Scotland,
there introducing the type of
skirt worn by the Greeks on cere-
monial occasions, Thus the orig-
in of the Highland dress; although
the kilt did not become the habit
of the soldiers until , about- 200
years ago, wlien the heads of the
clans, who customarily wore' the
ldit themselves, adopted it for
their private armies.
ANCIENT ASSYRIANS
WORE IT
It is also known, however, that
the ancient Assyrians wore' -a

men wearing it have been found

and wear it straight—not, cocked
over one eye,
2, Brighten your navy blue out-
fit, if you choose one, with "pur-

es, or a pink petticoat that oecns-
tonally shows when a sprhlg breeze
lifts your helpline, O"r--
3, Choose a cape outfit—solid
color full-length wool cape silk
dress, hip•length wool ca15e aver
wool dress, maybe in two toiler of
a color; floor -length flowing jersey
cape over evening gown, Or -
4. 'Buy a bright, slim reefer coal
—spring green, parma velvet, or
Chinatown red, Or -
5, Wear a slim little two-plcce
suit, with either a plain or peplum
jacket. And -
6. Consider green as the leading
new spring color, with all the beig-
es, off-whites and light browns in
a prominent place; navy still good;
combinations 0 black and white
popular,
7. Be sure your new outfit doesn't
have a "football shoulder," but a
softer, feminine shoulder, sloping,
dropping, but not drooping,
8, Choose either a clinging sit•
houette or a, billowy skirted gown
for evening; maybe a pale chiffon
of marganza with long, fail sleeves,
or a picture dress barking back
to the 1850's.
9, Have a South American, Greek,
British, Chinese or Turkish note
in your costume. Or maybe a ma-
haranee turban,

landing field, and he counted on
Bentley's carelessness and self-
confidence to keep him from being
discovered. He wasn't worried about
rustlers stealing the calves, He had
lied to Barnes about seeing the
truck tracks. But he kept aft eye
on the herd.
Monnle had apparently forgotten
their quarrel. Barnes gave hint an
easy job, wrangling horses, kept
him close to the ranchhouse slur•

portunity to spend most of the
afternoons with her.

Bentley's visits became less fre-

decided that probably Bentley was
on ono of his frequent hunting
trips.
He thought It nil out as he sat
on the hilltop one' dark night. He

place on heat and bring to boil.
Season with pepper And salt and
a little sugar. (I am not giving
the amounts for all taste° for
seasoning are different). Melt

each cup of tomatoes). To the
melted butter add a tablespoon
of flour (and 1 tablespoon but-.
ter). Blend carefully and, add to
the tomatoes, as it reaches the
boiling point, the butter and flour
mixture: Stir constantly until, it
thickens, then allow to cook on

be thrown away — it is a splen-
did foundation for creamed
soups, Then with milk soups the
homemaker: has a splendid oppor-
tunity to vary the milk budget.
Remember each adult should have
one pint of milk a day and each

"Cold Cures"
Tbia la the season for colds. 1?ven i
our belligerent Berkshire Is sniffling
these days, using the straw stack to
wipe away- the influenza -inspired
tears. In the barnyard, Biddy, our
little Red lien, has watery eyes. to
match her complexion and I've noticed
the horse stable resounding with the
exploding sneezes of the inhabitants
of that portion of tho barn,
Last week the hired man had a cold.
For breakfast he demanded sliced on-
ions and while the rest of us cheer-
fally tried to hold the tears back, 'Ile
munched on the vegetable dynainito
cheerfully. At last when the rest of
us hound excuses to move as far away
from the table as possible, he gasped
for breath and gulped water in a mat-
ter to be compared to the husky one -
cylinder pump of a thresher's tank.
Sotnehow the. onions didn't seem to
help the cold. One thing they did do
and that was to keep the rest of us
far enough away from hint that we
didn't' pick up any of the cold germs,
At noon he remenilbered another
cure that had been offered at some
previous date and ho worn a pair of
woollen stockings criss-crossed on his
chest. Whether it was for the warmth
of the woollen material or .some
strange •superstitious reason I'll never
tell, you, but his cold grow steadily
worse,
After 'supper he soaked his feet in
THE STANDARD
_ •uf.w.-yti„�•�.... .••••.4.1.- • . - .W,I 1111,••••••••.'-
a solution of mustard and •salt and
boiling hot water. Then he drank juieo
from roast lemons and went to bed,
Next morning he was prowling around
about tour o'clock looking for aspirin
tablets. In- spite of our insistence he
wouldn't stay In bed. He's been hack-
ing and coughing all morning and
1 growling albout conditions in general.
Evidently his cold is not improving,
nor for that matter, his disposition:
I mention this only as an example
'of cold cures, It's strange:but just let
a hint drop on a rural telephone lino
about one of the family having a cold
and thton sit back and wait; Sure en-
ough in about ten minutes you'll have
everybody on. the line calling with
their own prescription for a cold cure.
About to straltgest ono I_ ever
heard was that of Mrs. Ifiggins, who'
called this morning to suggest that
the hired man pickle two duck livers
iu vinegar and salt and then eat the
livers before going to bed. Another
person called up to say that a cup of
pure 'vinegar and niir Lard would be a
'certain cure for a cold. Still another
I said that- they found that axle grease
and turpentine rubbed on the throat
would be just the thing to cure the
hired man of all his cold germs.
Mention a cold and the average titan
or woman will either prescrfbe for it
or start telling you about tho time_ a
certain uncle of theirs took a mild
cold and died fifteen days later after
slowly strangling to death. The mon-
tion of a cold seems to make poople
think of graveyards or home-made
prescriptions.
I remember quite well coming home
from school one night with a bad cold
I and a kindly old gentleman who lived
in a, little house this aide of our Con-
cession schoolhouse talking to me,
He gave me a little sank to wear ar-
ound .my neck and made ine promise
not to tell anybody about it, and to
"I realize that
Canada now calls on me ... to join in a great
National Savings Plan ... necessary to win-tTie war and vital to my
own safety.
—that the gallant men of the Army, Navy and Air Force ...
now on the fighting front ... need me on the financial front. They
need munitions, material and equipment ... and only by my money
which represents the production of war materials can this support be
secured. They are my protectors. They call on me to be their provider.
—that
—that
this will require hard work and many dollars.
only by hard work and frugal living ... by LENDING
all I can to Canada ... can I do my part to help to win the war and
establish our future security.
1 Piedge that I will forego the purchase of unnecessary articles
... however small the cost ... no matter how well I am able to pay
for them ... which take labour and materials away from the great task
of providing goods needed to win the war.
Psbtitb.d
by the
TM. s.,•,hg
Committee,
On.ma
—that NOW ... starting this month ... I will put a definite
part of my income aside in War Savings Certificates..I will have it
deducted regularly ... each week ... each month ... either from my
pay envelope or from my savings account, by arrangement with my
employer or my bank manager."

PROTECT THE BIRDS
I havo not said much about
birds in this column but birds of
all kinds `are among our most
valued natural resources. I am
'sure that there are but a few
• people .who would not miss them
11 they were gone. The robin that
greets us on spring mornings,
the ruffled grouse that gets up
with a roar •in the 'woods, the
honking Canada geese on their.
flights north and south, are part
of the charm of outdoors that
bolds most of us all our lives.
Many of our birds are protect-
ed by the laws of the Dominion
of Canada, Because they are
migratory, wintering in the lands
to the south of us, we have made
treaties with the United States
which protect the game birds, the
song birds and the insectivorous
birds, while they are out of Can-
ada. In return, we protect ,them
while they are here in summer.
Open seasons are allowed on
ducks, geese and certain shore
birds but the others are not al-
lowed to be molested in any way
at any time.
GAME, SONGBIRDS, INSECT
EATE1S
At one time, any bird could be
shot at any time of the year.
Geese, ducks, shore birds and up-
land game birds were taken in
thousands by market hunters and
sold in the big cities.,Spring
shooting harrassed the flcks on
their way north to their breeding
grounds, While this country and
the United States were still thin-
ly settled long shooting seasons
and market hunting did not have
much effect on the bird as a
whole, By 1900 the population
had so increased that these prac-
tices were taking a heavy toll and
far-seeing biologists realized that
the game birds would soon be ex-
tinct unless measures were taken
for their preservation,
Representatives of the bird pro-
tection societies and Government
officials of both countries finally
drew up a set of regulations de-
signed to protect the birds. In
1916 a treaty between Great Brit-
ain and the United States wjs
signed and laws were passed by
this country and across the line
which enabled the peace officers
to enforce the treaty. This treaty'
was known as the Migratory
Birds Convention and the law
that implements it in Canada
was called the Migratory Birds
Convention Act. This Act is now
enforced by. special Dominion
Migratory Bird Officers and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

"Individuals with wet clothing,

THE W. A R •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events ,
"CAN DEFEAT GERMANY
WITH AMERICAN AID"
"The probability of an ultim-
ate British victory Is over-
whelming If Britain survives
this spring and summer."—
Henry F. Stimson, U. 8. Sec.
retary of War.
"United States intervention
to help Britain can have no
other effect than to deepen the
ultimate collapse of Europe."—
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
"Great Britain can defeat
Germany with the aid of the
U.
S."—Gen. George C. Mar-
shall, U n 1 ted, States Army
Chief of Staff.
The world war picture changed
very little during the week; the
relative position of the two chief
belligerents altered not at all. But
on the home fronts everywhere
feverish preparations were being
made to meet the great spring cris-
is and whatever it might bring.
Climax Before May
No one doubted that the war
would reach a grand climax at
some date within the next three
monhs. Many and dire were the
predictions made by military and
diplomatic experts of a dozen coun-
triee. Drew Middleton, one of the
Associated Press' best men in Lon-
don, wrote that informed quarters
there seriously expected the migh-
tiest onslaught of history, with
bombing on an unimagined scale
and the use of every modern weap-
on, including flame-throwers and
gas, to be launched upon the Bri-
tish Isles before the first of May.
Germany, he believed, would try
to break Britain at that time, aim
to win the war at one blow; Bri-
tain nevertheless would beat off
the Nazi invasion attempt at the
cost of half her air force, three-
quarters of her battle fleet, and at
least 250,000 troops,
Confident of Outcome
Military experts in the United
States, confronted with these and
similar prognostications, generally
agreed that Britain was facing just
such a contingency as Mr. Middle-
ton outlined, but in the main they
were confident of the outcome.
Witness General Marshall, U. S.
Army Chief of Staff before, the
Her ate Foreign Relations Commit-
tee: "The present situation is Ger-
ions—one of the most critical per-
iods in the history of the world—
but Britain will win out eventually

Winston Churchill - III
with the American aid contemplat•
• ed under the 'lease -lend' bill,"
Cold Statistics
These mon in Washington who
looked at the cold statistics of the
case (German superiority in the
air, 4-0•1) and saw Britain still
on top, based their optimism ou
several factors in the situation:
prospects of full American material
aid plus Britain's own production;
the natural geographic advantages
possessed by •England; the super-
iority of British flying personnel
and the high level of British mor-
ale. American officials appeared
quite certain that • Germany could
never land enough troops on Bri-
tish soil to establish a bridgehead
unless she had complete, unques-
tioned control of the'kir over the
Channel and over England.
Army of Attack
Aside from actual invasion, the
greatest menace presented to Great
Britain by Germauy is the Nazi
counter -blockade, Last week it was
expected that Hitler would resume
his campaign, Iapeed for some
weeks now, against shipping in the
north Atlantic and attack with un-
precedented violence, using sub-
marinas, planes, surface raiders, At
that time the pr,blem'of protecting
convoys would reveal itself as more
pressing than ever, The hand of
the 'United States might be forced,
it it were found to be imperative
to have American vessels help
• carry American -produced war • ma-
terials across the water to Britain.,
Writing on the Wall
The Italian crisis deepened dur-
ing the week, with the Fascist
armies losing out on every front
and domestic unrest flaring into
man-sized riots in industrial cen-
tres of northern Italy, Mussolini,
whose day of reckoning appeared
closer than ever at hand, did what
he could to repair the deplorable
military situation in Africa and Al.
bania—with the aid of Nazi tanks,
men and dive•bombers - and sup-
pressed the'uprisings at home by
calling out his Blackshirted Fas-
cist militia and units of the sin-
ister German Gestapo (now over-
running Italy). His regime was tot-
tering. Seen as most likely to drive
Mussolini from power would be n -
general revolt in the army, Last
week the rumblings of coming mil.
itary insurrection were heard in
many quarters • (soldiers fought
alongside rioters in Milan and Tur-
in), and the name of Marshal -
Pietro Badoglio was mentioned as
key man in an early move to oust
I1 Duce,
"It's All My Fault"
Blame for one of the most col-
ossal mistakes in all history was
last week taken upon his own
shoulders by Premier Prince, Kon•
oye of Japan, "It's all my fault,"
declared this super -aristocrat who
is beyond the reach of personal
criticism in Japan, referring to the
"China incident" and its loss of
hundreds of thousands of Japanese
lives and expenditure of billions of
dollars—a war which began three
and a half years ago and shows no
prospect of ending favorably for
Jnpan.
The miraculqus Chinese, hearten-
ed by President Roosevelt's recent'
announcement of a $100,000,000
China aid program, might soon.,
take the offensive in the war with(
'''Japan, it was intimated last.' weak
In New York by China's` -finance'
minister, Dr, T, 'V, Soong, •" With
the Japanese army strung out over
a very wide area, demoralized and
discouraged by a wan' that has no
end, a determined offensive camp
paign could, have, far-reaching re!
sults," he said,

Money, Money f.
Signa were becoming more eon•
spicuous last week in the Domini
ion that in the. session of Parlia-
ment resuming February 17 tho
question of money and the none-
tary ,system would attract. an tit- '
tenion quite out' of the ordinary,
1941 is expected to be a great yank
in war finance, Operations, are pro•
ceeding on the scalp of a billion
dollars for the year, and, as new
and more burdensome conditions
have to be met, it is logical that a
• more favorable ear should bo lent
by the powers at Ottawa to sug-
gestions that unorthodox methods
of war financing be considered,
now that Premier Hepburn of On-
tario has brought the question so
dramatically to the fore,
In the new session of Parliament,
further war appropriations will bo
made; another, and heavier, Budget
brought down --possibly in March;
a wheat policy will have to be de-
cided on.
Farmers To Ottawa
Delegates from the Canadian
Federation of Agriculture who
journeyed to Ottawa Last week en-
joyed a sympathetic audience with
the Prime Minister and with Mr,
Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture,
but came away without assurance
that anything definite would be
done by the Federal Government
to help the Canadian farmer in -
wartime, They heard; however,
that more satisfactory farm prices
were likely to eventuate it the
war developed as expected,
During the week announcement
was made that a number of Hrf-
tisk industries would move bag and
baggage to Canada . , , and that
the one-month compulsory military,_
training period for young Canadii,
fans might be extended to four
months,
Marriages jumped to record
heights. in Winnipeg during 1940,
city officials announced. During
the year, 4,658 marriages were
performed compared with the pre-
viotis record of 3,7716 in 1939. Un-
til 1939, Winnipeg's greatest year
for marriages was 1912, when 3,503
couples were married,

Though a warlike Conserva-• :len
elected to parliament in 1900; Churchill
suddenly quit. the patty, crossed the
floor to the Liberal side. To the rage
of his former partisans he became a
free trade advocate, almost a radical.
in 1910 Churchill, riding the tide of Liberal
victory, became home secretary in the Asquith
cabinet. An admirer of the brilliant young
Englishman ,was the former German Kaiser,
with whoa he is shown ABOVE.
Always energetic, In 1911 Churchill person-
ally led a force of '760 policemen in an attack
on., a. house in Sidney St,, London, believed to
be the hangout of a gang of. anarchists, No
anarchists were found --• only two dead Jewel
thieves.

The Prevention
Of Pneumonia
The title does not indicate a
new remedy for pneumonia, It
has been adopted by the Toronto
Star to point out that pneumonia
in North America is confined
chiefly to two clear-cut areas
which are called pneilnlonia belts.
, One of these belts is in the
•east, beginning with the Canadi-
an province of Quebec and ex-
tending to Prince Edward Is-
' land, Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick, and along the Atlan-
tic. coast,. In this area all. but
four states have' pneumonia
(ieathrates —above the average.
The second• pneumonia .belt; con-
sists' of four states in the noun -
fain . •regidn; 'namely, CAlorado, •
New. Mexico and Nevada.

Contrary to usual public opin-
ion, neither latitude ntir• a cold
climate' conduce to , the onset . of
pneumonia, The provinces, , of
'Saskatchewan,-• :Alberta 'acid 'the
state of ;Squth Dakota; are safer
from pneumontn than ,are . Se)uth
Carolina, Georgia and • 'Arizona,
which are warhlier climates.; 'It

an-
nually become' 111 of 'pneumonia
,,.and ' until-recebtly ,, one- out of
every "four attacked, died of it.
Now,. thanks to the discovery of
drugs of the sulphanilamide class
the lives 'of nine out of ten vie -
thus can be saved. Last year
in hospital practice pneumonia
deaths were reduced by two-
thii'ds, But there remains the
problem of prevention. The chief
items in the prevention of pneu-
monia are:
1. Clearing up of foci of in•
fection,-
2. The use of the protective
foods: meat, milk, eggs, fish,
fresh vegetables and fruit.
3. Plenty of rest and relaxa-

_Place More Telephone Calls
Per Person Than Any Other
People In the World
Canadians place an average of
over severs huillio n telephone calls
each day, George L. Long, Mister.
fan of the Bell Telephone Company
of Canada declaiess,
235 CALLS PER YEAR
Canadians are the greatest tele-
phone talkers in the world, accord-
ing to Mr." Long. "In other words,"
Ile said, 'wo have placed more
telephone calls per person than
the people of any other country,
The,recbrd for 1938 shows. that if
you are an average Canadian, you
have placed 235 ,telephone calls.
Compared with this, the average
,American placed 223,"
"It requires 18,000 telephone
people to carry on the telephone
business in Canada," Mr. Long.
said, "of which about 9,700 are eni-
plcyed by tate Bell Telephone Com.
luny, 'the other 8,300 being em-
ployes, of over 3,000 other, tele-
phone systems In the Dominion,"
"Records 'show," Mr. Long said,.
"that an individual telephone cos.
tomer has had an average .of only
one troublei' in 14 months during
the peat two years. Five years ago,
there was ono trouble , per tele-
phone in 10 months." • '

-.-..- * «
1, What should a girl do with
her wedding gifts, when an en -
moment has been broken a few
days before the wedding?
2. When answering a busi-
.ness telephone, should one merely
say "Hello"?
3. . When ice cream is served
on pie, should the ice cream be
eaten with a spoon?
4, Shoaldn't a saleswoman, to
be efficient, advise : a customer
what she should choose?.
5, When a young man takes
a girl. to the ,theatre, should 'she
stand beside him in line . while he
gets the tickets?
' • 6. Is it permissible to ask
• the porter on a train 'to call
one at a certain hour in the
• morning?
Answers
1. Mail each gfit back to the
donor, with a brief note saying
that the wedding is not to take
• place; it is not necessary to state
the reason. But don't fail to ex-
press sincere appreciation for the
gift, just as though nothing had
happened. 2. It saves time to
say, "R. J. Allen Company." Or,
.if an individual, or professional
man, "Dr. Brown speaking."
3, No; the forkshould be used.
4. Not if the customer seems
capable of making her own de-
cision. When the customer seems
timid, doubtful, or uncertain, a
pleasant suggestion now and then
is all right. 5, No. She should
stand aside and wait for him,
6. Yes; that is the correct thing
to do,

If you are troubled with itching

this condition become chronic. Any

in the form of a small, easy to take
